Sidewinder fries
Zach W.

The best thing here was the service at the bar. I ordered a burger med rare. It was well at best. No pink, very little juice. My wife had their version of a patty melt, she forgot to order it med rare and it was cooked better than mine. Good hangout joint and would definitely try again but the food definitely missed on the temperature. Interesting the bartender didn't notice that 3/4's my burger was left when she cleared my plate

BOB'S PATTY MELT
Hsu A.

Could have seated us practically anywhere considering the place was empty but chose the one place with sticky floor and wet towels that had obviously been there to dry up whatever was spilt but left there to just soak. Made the whole experience feel dirty. The service was fine but nothing spectacular. The food was decent. I had chicken strips that tasted similar to slims. They were prepared well enough and came with some pretty good fries. Parents had the ribeye and patty melt. Apparently their ribeye was pretty good but probably not worth the 40 bucks. Dad ate the whole patty melt sandwhich so it must have been pretty good too. The beer I had was a lost 40 seasonal but I'm not sure what it actually was. Tasted pretty good though. I'd normally give this place a 4 but the gross sticky floor kind of unnerved me the entire time.

Was there New Years Eve. Had the Ribeye Steak. This was our second time here. Always great service and food. Highly recommend

Super casual restaurant vibe. Cocktail menu is pretty funny. Loved the wide variety of food menu options. Within walking distance from our townhouse rental. Cocktail: Arkansas Annie. First time trying the vodka from this distiller and not sure how much I like it. 3/5 Spinach dip: not very flavorful. Could have used more seasoning and spinach 2/5 Crawfish dip: perfectly made and enjoyed the wontons 4/5 Seafood pasta: no complaints at all 5/5 Service 4.5/5

Waiter was nice but the food took 45 mins. Came out cold and my wings had barely any sauce on them. I ordered a side of fries and they were hot but I only got about 10 fries. The "wings" were more so nuggets with a splash of buffalo sauce. Overall, bad service and mediocre food. The meal was cheap, but got what we paid for it.

Turkey melt on Texas toast w/sweet potato fries. Hubby liked
Jessica W.

Food: side salad, no cheese with balsamic vinaigrette, crab cakes (with fried green tomatoes), turkey melt with sweet potato fries. The food was okay, nothing special, but hit the spot. The crab cakes are made in house and come with fried green tomatoes which were tasty. Service: friendly and helpful recommendations. Ambiance: hardwood floors and chairs, great for families, loud music Location: on S. Main at the end of the street.

The oysters are amazing. Paired with some fries and you a nice lil meal. The waitress was very attentive and served us quickly. They also have a nice wine selection.

Salmon  Brussel sprouts   Sidewinder Fries
Mahauganee S.

I wouldn't come back here. I was in town for graduation and took the recommendation of my hotel bartender. To be fair, he said he goes here for burgers...BUT the previous Yelp reviews made me think the salmon wouldn't be a horrible idea. Spoiler alert: it was. You see those sear marks on the salmon? It was burnt. Charred. Not tasty. 0/10 do not recommend. I was so excited about the Brussels that I almost ordered them as an appetizer even though I knew that would be more than I could finish. Once I saw that I could get them as a side, I was excited. I was wrong to be excited. There were too many different flavors mixed into it, and a distinct mustard flavor. Womp womp. THESE FRIES THO?! GET THEEEEEM!!! They are amaaaaazing!!! To be fair, I love potatoes. If I ever did happen back into this establishment, I'd only order fries. The place was busy on a Friday evening, so I sat at the bar (which was surprisingly open). The bartenders were nice and took care of me. I tried ordering a drink but they didn't have any of the ingredients I wanted so I just had water. In summary, "don't do it; reconsider!" ...unless you're in the market for a college town bar/grill experience. In that case, this is the low lit, dirty, noisy establishment of your dreams.

Lunch and drinks with a colleague brought me to LongHorn. Because I wasn't very hungry, I ordered a…read moreside of Brussel sprouts and a side of fries, plus a spiked strawberry lemonade. The service was great, the booth was comfortable, and the food was okay-- my sprouts were a little too crispy/charred although the sauce on them was great, and my fries were a little too heavily salted. The staff was working very quickly given how full the restaurant was. For context, this was a Friday afternoon on graduation weekend in a college town. I accidentally left my credit card in the sleeve after paying, and had to return to the restaurant later to inquire about it. Again, the staff was excellent. A manager had locked the card away and went to retrieve it for me. Before giving it to me, they asked for my ID to verify that it was my card. I appreciate that level of due diligence.

My boyfriend and I came to Longhorn today and we were very pleased! He got a fillet with corn and…read morefries and I got the salmon with shrimp. The steak was flavorful and juicy and the fries were crispy and not too salty. My salmon and shrimp had a nice sear and tasted fresh. We shared a molten lava cake for dessert and it was the perfect balance of sweet but not too sweet. The service here was quick our waitress was friendly. Definitely one of our favorite steakhouses!
